@michaelwhite It's true, but perhaps a little misleading. This has been happening for decades under multiple governments. Now though, with Universal Credit, the system is trying (imperfectly) to avoid giving a full "polygamy bonus". So the number of polygamy cases getting £78K will be tiny.

I really do not see the point of journalists misrepresenting facts in this way. IMO, it makes them look stupid: either they're too thick to understand simple concepts; or they're ignorant; or dishonest; or some combination of those. Not a good look, and all rather low quality.

Hardly 100% right. He walked away from the customer in the middle of a conversation and told them to leave the store for no reason (he accused her of being abusive, when she did not appear to be). The customer is wrong as a matter of law, but it was terrible customer service.

Doesn't matter what side of this debate you're on. The manger here is 100% right. It's not his job to set policy. If you want to make a point, take it to the company directors. Leave ordinary staff members out of it.

Your reminder that Reform's deportation policy, like many of their policies, is simply not workable. Whether you're in favour of it or not, there is no scenario where this happens.
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK

Robert’s answer is not Reform policy. As the person responsible for our deportation plan I want ensure people know where we stand: If a foreign national lives in social housing at taxpayer expense, they automatically fail our economic test and will be deported.

@RemIsBuzzin Reform and Restore are doing nothing to help anybody. If they can’t put their massive egos aside and behave sensibly, we’ll be stuck with idiots forever.

In the Makerfield by-election, opinion polls say it's a close race between Labour and Reform. However, Polymarket says Andy Burnham will win easily. Reform is heading downwards. Meanwhile, Restore has no chance.

@lara_spirit Polymarket has had Andy Burnham as the heavy favorite from the start. On Polymarket, it has never looked like Reform stood much of a chance. It will be interesting to see if all this reporting of it being a knife-edge by-election turns out to be correct.

NEW: The myths of Makerfield – this pivotal seat is not what you might think – I sit down with Robert Kenyon, Reform's candidate, who defends himself as "rough around the edges" – Focus group, poll and conversations on the ground suggest seat on a knife-edge – Restore Britain on 7 per cent – should Reform be concerned? thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

@LukeTryl Polymarket has had Andy Burnham as the heavy favorite from the start. Judging by that, it has never looked Reform stood much of a chance. Based on that, Andy Burnham doesn't have any challenges. The fake working class northerner act seems to be enough (if Polymarket is right).

Five things really jumped out from our Makerfield focus group for this piece 1) Burnham's biggest challenge is showing how his win, and any future plans will benefit Makerfield directly that: this is about them not him. 2) Lots of the group really disliked Starmer but: vote Labour to get rid of Starmer really goes against voter psychology 3) Reform's biggest challenge is to derisk. The "risk" of Reform is still enough to stop some wavering voters rolling the dice on them. 4) Restore cut through driven by social media was a real thing and just as in Gorton we heard people worried about splits in left vote here a couple worried about right split.

@cockwomblefree @tomhfh This guy is an idiot, but it was obviously a joke. There is no point in journalists misrepresenting things - it just makes them look thick. BTW, plenty of MPs say and do far worse than this. In any case, Burnham is going to win easily, despite all the breathless reporting.

@RemIsBuzzin @tomhfh He didn't just reply he endorsed the suggestion. We set standards well above creepy comments about Women for our elected MPs. He is entitled to express such a view but it comes with consequences if trying to be elected as a MP representing a community.

@tomhfh It's the same with the Carold Vorderman thing. All he did was reply as a joke. However Michael Crick reported that as, "The most astonishing sexual fantasy ever publicly described by a British politician". Journalists trash their own reputations by deliberate misreporting.

I find it hard to believe the author of this ‘analysis’ read that tweet as anything other than an obvious joke. What’s concerning here is I think I know why they included it. They wanted to use the word ‘waterboard’ in the headline, and knew most people wouldn’t read the article. Duplicitous.

@michaelwhite Look more closely. NASA and DoD have benefited SpaceX significantly. As of 2026, federal revenue appears to account for roughly 20% of SpaceX revenue. Critically, however, the core technologies relevant to a future Mars architecture appear to be funded mainly by SpaceX itself.

The debt is the bondholders' savings, not a collective national piggy bank. It's a bit like saying your credit card debt is actually a savings plan. It's true that it's a savings plan, but it's the bank's savings, not yours. National debt is a burden - it has costs and risks.
Richard Murphy@RichardJMurphy

What if the national debt is not a burden at all? What if it is simply the nation’s savings? Any sensible analysis shows that this so-called debt is no such thing: it's just a massive savings bank operation. That sounds like a contradiction, but it is not. In fact, understanding this point changes almost everything about how we think about government finance, public spending, austerity and economic policy. In this video, I explain why every pound of government debt is also somebody else’s financial asset. I show why government bonds are not like household debt, why they function as savings accounts with the state, and why the financial system depends upon them. Pension funds, insurance companies, banks and many of the world’s largest investors all rely on UK government bonds as a safe place to hold wealth. I also explain why governments that issue their own currency are fundamentally different from households, why the UK government cannot run out of pounds, and why the idea that Britain must one day “pay off the national debt” makes little economic sense. The national debt exists because people and institutions want somewhere secure to save their money, and the government has a duty to accept those savings. Along the way, I challenge some of the most common myths in economics. Are bond markets really in control of governments? Do bond vigilantes dictate public policy? Does rising government debt automatically create a crisis? Or have politicians, economists and commentators misunderstood the role that government bonds actually play in a modern economy? The answers matter because misunderstanding government debt has helped justify decades of unnecessary austerity, underinvestment, and fear about public spending. If we get the nature of government bonds wrong, we get much of economic policy wrong as well. If the national debt is actually national savings, then the debate about government finance needs to start in a very different place. youtu.be/rMfCrIhlAm8?si…

@AlexBallingerMP No. The *only* way to solve the cost of living crisis is by creating the conditions for sustained, strong economic growth. 1% is not enough. You're hammering businesses and entrepreneurs with taxes, high costs, and regulation. That means there will be no significant growth.

School teaching self-selects for people whose values are aligned with the profession’s public-sector, unionised, welfare-facing character. That's why school teachers are left-wing. Educational attainment is not the cause, though exposure to these ideas at university plays a role.
Tharries@TharriesYT

I love this argument because there's never any self-reflection from the right as to why educators are overwhelmingly left-wing, almost like the right's ideas don't stand up to intellectual scrutiny or something...

@durreadan01 I like that Zuck is "optimistic" that someone will beat Apple. Why?! In the (unlikely) event that, say, Open AI comes up with a revolutionary new device the makes the smartphone obsolete, Meta is out of business. Maybe 99% of Meta's revenue and user access is via smartphones.

UK Politicians are also complicit. In the UK, backward religious people are allowed to carry dangerous knives designed as weapons. Meanwhile, regular citizens have to produce ID to buy kitchen knifes for use in their homes. We are governed by exceptionally stupid people.

Vickrum Digwa was carrying a vicious knife. You should not be allowed to carry a dangerous weapon because you pretend you're carrying it for backward religious reasons. In any case, we need judges who can see through this rubbish. The British Judiciary is problematic.
